Google, Yahoo! see 'brief' delay to partnership

Google and Yahoo! have announced a delay in starting their commercial cooperation in online advertising. The internet companies have agreed to a brief delay in implementing the agreement while they continue talks with the US department of justice on the competition aspects of the deal. The two previously said they expected to start the partnership in October, but a "brief" delay is now expected while the regulatory talks are wound up. The delay was expected to last less than a month, a source familiar with the discussions on the issue told Reuters. "We're still looking at the time frame of October," the source said.

The Inside Story of How the RIAA Killed Muxtape

Muxtape, the simple, awesome and insanely popular online mix tape creator went offline last month with a brief explanation: "Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA." Since then, we haven't heard anything about it. Until now. Justin, the creator of Muxtape, just posted a long, detailed account of what exactly happened and what the future of the site holds. It's a pretty great inside look at just how stupid and confused the music industry is right now.

MySpace Suicide Charges Threaten Free Speech

Naturalist recommends a piece up at Ars about a friend-of-the-court brief filed by the EFF, CDT, Public Citizen, and a group of 14 law professors in the case of Lori Drew, who posed as a teenage boy to harass another teen online, eventually driving her to suicide. (We've discussed the case a few times.) "[The amicus brief argues] that violating MySpace's Terms of Service agreement shouldn't be considered criminal offense under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The groups believe that if the mother, Lori Drew, is prosecuted using CFAA charges, the case could have significant ramifications for the free speech rights of US citizens using the Internet."

RIAA confirms it's behind the Muxtape shutdown

Muxtape, the love-child of the Internet and 80s cassette mix tapes, has had its plug pulled by the RIAA. Currently, visitors to the site are greeted with a brief statement that Muxtape will be "unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA."

Google and Yahoo Delay Ad Deal

Google and Yahoo won't be consummating their ad outsourcing deal just yet. In statements issued late on Friday, the Web giants said they would postpone the agreement to give the Justice Department time to continue its probe. Both companies said they would accept a "brief delay" in implementing the outsourcing contract, originally scheduled for early October. However they did not indicate just how long they'd be willing to defer. "We have had discussions with regulators and look forward to responding to their questions about this agreement," Yahoo said in its statement. Google's declaration was similar: "As we are still in conversation with the Department of Justice, we have agreed to a brief delay in implementing the agreement while those discussions continue," it said.
